## What is Cartridge Hours?

Cartridge Hours is a focused, private way to know exactly how many hours are on every stylus and cartridge in your setup — and when each one is approaching the lifespan you expect from it.

An active subscription is required to use Cartridge Hours. Eligible new subscribers can try every feature free for one week.

Start the timer when the needle drops. Stop it when you’re done. Every minute is counted on the correct stylus, giving you a clear and dependable record of your listening time.

PRECISE LISTENING TIMER

Track listening with a wall-clock timer designed to remain accurate when the app is in the background.

While a session is running, a Live Activity displays the active stylus and elapsed time on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. You can also start and stop listening hands-free with Siri or the Shortcuts app.

YOUR WHOLE SETUP, ORGANIZED

Organize your equipment naturally:

Turntable → Tonearm → Cartridge → Stylus

Track multiple turntables, cartridges, and replacement styli, each with its own accumulated listening time and history. Simple setups stay simple, while more detailed systems remain easy to manage.

KNOW WHEN TO LOOK CLOSER

Enter the manufacturer’s rated lifespan for a stylus and Cartridge Hours shows how much of that expected life you have used.

Clear usage milestones and optional reminders help you know when it may be time to inspect, maintain, or replace a stylus.

You provide the expected lifespan; Cartridge Hours reports elapsed usage. It does not diagnose stylus condition or guarantee remaining life.

EVERYTHING REMEMBERED

Record cleaning, alignment, stylus changes, cartridge changes, and other maintenance.

Review your listening activity over time and preserve a complete history for every stylus you have owned.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

No Cartridge Hours account. No advertising. No developer-operated data server.

Your equipment and listening history remain on your iPhone and sync privately between your devices through your personal iCloud account. We cannot access your collection or listening history.

ALL FEATURES INCLUDED WITH YOUR SUBSCRIPTION

• Unlimited turntables, cartridges, and styli
• Precise listening history
• Lock Screen and Dynamic Island Live Activities
• Siri and Shortcuts support
• Private iCloud synchronization
• Maintenance records and reminders
• Listening-history export

SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION

Cartridge Hours offers monthly and yearly auto-renewable subscriptions. Both plans provide access to all features.

Eligible new subscribers may receive a one-week free trial. When the trial ends, the selected subscription automatically renews at the price displayed on the purchase screen unless canceled before renewal.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings. Prices may vary by country or region.

A considered tool for people who love records and take care of their gear. Nothing louder.
